Al Dhafra form and stats

With 2 Uae League wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Al Dhafra are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Al Dhafra with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Dibba Al Fujairah game, 39 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Tiago was the last player to score a league goal for Dhafra and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Al Dhafra haven't scored in 262 minutes.

Al Dhafra are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Shabab Al Ahli Dubai.

Preceding that match was the home game against Al Ittihad Kalba that was lost 0-2.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. When Dhafra hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Al Bataeh, Dibba Al Fujairah, Bani Yas and Al Nasr), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Al Wasl form and stats

Al Wasl have an excellent away record in the Uae League so far with 5-2-1 from 8 games.

214 minutes! That's how long the Al Wasl goalkeeper Khaled Saif Hamad Ali Al Senani and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Impressive finishing from Saleh and Sidibe secured the home win 2-0 against Al Nasr in their previous game.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Dibba Al Fujairah with the score of 1-0.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Presidents Cup trip to Bani Yas.

Al Wasl has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 13 goals from 8 games. As opposed to that, Al Wasl have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Al Wasl have won at least one point in the last 8 fixtures (6-2-0) against Dhafra.

It's not the first time these sides face each other this campaign, as the records show this recent game: Al Wasl - Al Dhafra 4-0. Lima loves to meet Al Dhafra and have scored 8 goals in these encounters.
